LAMB’S EAR

Stachys byzantina 

A hardy, drought-tolerant member of the mint family.  Lamb’s ear is known for its tongue-shaped, silver, downy leaves.  When harvested before blooming, the immature florescence of this plant is also attractive fresh or dried.  Silvery floral spikes form in early summer on this perennial plant and regular harvest leads to 6-8 weeks of blooms.  Divide every few years to refresh clumps of this perennial plant.  Grows to 18”.  FLA.
